John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Qaalay kasse koyro dees. Qallakka Xoossa achan dees. He qalaaykka Xoossa.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Izee koyro Xoossa achchan dees.
3 All things were made through him; and without him was nothing made that hath been made.
Medheteththi wurii izann medhetdes. Medhettdazan izi baynda medhetiday isiinaka dukku.
4 In him is life; and the life was the light of men.
Deyooy ezann deyssu. hana deyooya asas poo7.
5 And the light hath been shining in the darkness; and the darkness received it not.
Poo77y dhumaan poo7ses. dhumayy poo7 muleeka xonena.
6 There was a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
Xoossafe kiitetda Yanissa getettiza isadeey dess.
7 He came as a witness, to bear witness of the light, that through him all might believe.
Iza markkatithaan asi wurii amanna malla Po77s markka giddii yidess.
8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness of the light.
Izi poo7o gish markatana yides atiin izi ba hues po7o gidena.
9 The true light, which enlighteneth every man, was coming into the world.
Asa wursoos po7o imiiza tumu poo7oy hayssa ha alamezan yusan dess.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not.
Qaalayka kase alamen dess. almeykka medhetdday izana. Gido atin alameey iza erribeeyna.
11 He came to his own, and his own received him not.
Izi ba bagtako yiin iza bagaty iza ekiibetena.
12 But as many as received him, to them he gave power to become children of God, —to those who believed in his name;
Gido attin iza ekdaytii iza sunesaa amaniddayta isti xossa naytia gidana maata isstass iimdess.
13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Isttikka xossa nayta gididay xoossafe yelettida gish attin asa zeerethafe heskka asa wogan woykko asho shenen gidena.
14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; and we beheld his glory, a glory as of an only begotten of a father.
Qaallayka ass giddies, Xossa kiyatethinne tumann kumidii nunaan aqqides, Isi nass awa matan diza bonchoo milatza iza booncho nu beydos.
15 John beareth witness of him, and crieth, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that cometh after me hath gone before me; for he was before me.
Yanssaykka “tappe guyera yizaysi tafe adhees, gasooyka izi tape kaseka dess gada ta intees yotidaysi hekoo haysi izako” gii matatidess.
16 For out of his fullness have we all received, and grace upon grace.
Iza kumetha kiyatethan nu wuri keyatetha bolla kiyateth ekkidos.
17 For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Wogay musse baggara immetidas, kiyatethine tumay gidiikoo Yesuss Kirsitosa baggara nusii yidess.
18 No one hath ever seen God; the only begotten God, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath made him known.
Xooss beyedaye oonnkka bawa, gido attin Xossa aawa matan diza xoossa na xoossay issay xalala iza qonccissidess.
19 And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, Who art thou?
Ayhudata dannatii Yerusalamappe qeessistane Lewe nayetta Yanssakoo kitidii “ne oonee?” gidi oychchishin,
20 And he declared, and did not deny; and he declared, I am not the Christ.
Yanssay “tani Kiristtosa gidikee” gidi geshshi markkatides attin markkatanas ixxibeyna.
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he said, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No.
Isttika “histtine ne oonne? ne Elassa? gidi oychchida, izki gidike” gidi isttas zaaridess, Isttika “izi yana kittetida nabey nene?” gida. izika “akaye tana gidke” gidas.
22 They said therefore to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us; what sayest thou of thyself?
Istii qaas “histin ne onee? nuna kitda asas nu yotanamalla ne nena ona gay?” gida.
23 He said, I am “a voice of one crying aloud in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord,” as said Isaiah the prophet.
Izika “nabe Isayasay yootidaysa mala tani xoossa ogge suriistte gishe bazoo biitann wasiizade qalla girethth” gidess.
24 And they were sent from the Pharisees;
parssawistappe kittettda issi issi asati
25 and they asked him and said to him, Why then dost thou baptize, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?
Hesa gish “ne Xoossi kittidade woykko buroo yana getetida nabaye nene gidontta gidikoo hstiin azaas nuna xmaqqazi?” gidii iza oychchida.
26 John answered them, saying, I baptize in water. There standeth one among you whom ye know not,
Yanssaykka istasi hzgidass “ta haththn xamaqqays gido atiin inte eroontadey inte giddon eqqides.
27 he who cometh after me, the latchet of whose sandal I am not worthy to loose.
Tappe guyera yanaysi iza, ta iza ccama qachcho birshanass besizade gidikke.
28 These things took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Haysi wuri haniday Yanssay xamiqqiza Yordanosse shshafappe he pinththan diza Biitaniyaa getetiza katamana. Biitaniyay
29 The next day he seeth Jesus coming to him, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world!
“Wonteththa glass Yanissay Yasussay beeko yishshin beydi (deree nagara biitappe digana Xoossa doorssay hekko hysichchi!
30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man, who hath gone before me; for he was before me.
Tapee guyerra yanayysi izi tappe kassekka diza gish tappe adhdhess) gada ta intess yotizzay haysichch!
31 And I knew him not; but that he might be made manifest to Israel, therefore I came baptizing in water.
Takaa ta bagaraa iza eraabeyke shin gidikooka izi Isra7ele deress qonchnamala ta haththan xxamaqashshe yadiss.”
32 And John bore witness, saying, I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it abode upon him.
Kaleththidika Yanissayy hizgi markatidess. “Xiiloo Ayanay woole kafoo milattdii salopee woodhishshinne iza bolla uttshin beyadiss.
33 And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptize in water, the same said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding on him, he it is that baptizeth in the Holy Spirit.
Ta tabagara iza eriike shin ta haththan xmaqqanamalla tana kiitidadey (Xiilloo Ayanay iza bola wodhidi shempishshin nee beyanadey Xiiloo Ayanan meccnay izakko) gidii tas yoottidess.
34 And I have seen and have borne witness, that this is the Son of God.
Taka hessa beyadiss. Hessa gish izi Xoossa na gididaysa ta markatays.”
35 On the morrow John was again standing, and two of his disciples;
Wontetha galass Yanissay bena kaliza nam7atara heen eqqides.
36 and looking upon Jesus as he was walking, he saith, Behold, the Lamb of God!
Yesussay iza achchara adhdhishshn Yanissay beydii “Xoossa dorssay hekkoo haysichch!” gides.
37 The two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
Yanssa kalliza nam7ati hessa siiydii Yesussa kallida.
38 Jesus turning and seeing them following, saith to them, What seek ye? And they said to him, Rabbi, (that is to say, when interpreted, Teacher, ) where dost thou dwell?
Istii iza kaliishshn yesussa guye yuuy xellidii “ayy kooyetii?” gidees. Istkka “asstamaare ne dussasoy awaa?” gida.
39 He saith to them, Come, and ye shall see. They came therefore and saw where he dwelt; and they abode with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.
Izikka ista “ha ydii beyte” gidess. Hessa gish bidii izii awan dizakko be7idane he gllass izara isppe pe7ida. Wodeykka gedee tamuu sateso bidess.
40 One of the two who heard what John said, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
Yanissay yotida qaala siydii Yesussa kallida nam7atappe issay Simoona Phixiroossa ishsha Indirassa.
41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith to him, We have found the Messiah; (which is, when interpreted, the Christ.)
Indirassay koyroo ba ishsha simoonakko bidinne “Xoossi kitida kirstossa nu demidos!” gidess.
42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looking upon him said, Thou art Simon, the son of John; thou shalt be called Cephas; (which signifieth Peter, that is, Rock.)
Hesafe guye Indirassay Simoona Yesussakko ekii yides. Yesussaykka iza tishsh hisiti xelidii. “hayso ne Yoonna na Simoonakko, hayssafe guye ne Keehaaththaa geetistana.” Kehaaththaa gusi Phixrossa gusa wyykoo zlaa shuchu gusa.
43 On the morrow he determined to go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip. And Jesus saith to him, Follow me.
Wonteththa gallas Yesusay Galilla banass koydees. Piliphoosska demiidi “tana kalla” gidess.
44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Pilphoossaykka Indirasamalane Phixiroossamala Batesaydda kattama asa.
45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him, We have found him of whom Moses in the Law, and the Prophets wrote, Jesus, the son of Joseph, who is of Nazareth.
Piphoossay natina7ele demiidi “Mussey woga maxxafan qase nabetiikka burope hanana yotiza bee maxxafatann iza gish xafida adeza nuu demidos, izikka Yosefo na Nazirete Yesussakko” gides.
46 And Nathanael said to him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith to him, Come and see.
Natina7eley qass “Nazireteppe lo7o miishi beti erizee?” gi oychin Pilphossay iza “ha yada beya” gides.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile.
Natina7eley Yesussa beyana yishin yesussay beydi iza “hekko geney bayndda tumu Isra77ele ass!” giidi iza gish yotidess.
48 Nathanael saith to him, Whence dost thou know me? Jesus answered and said to him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.
Natina77eleykka zaridi “tana woosta eradii?” gi oychin Yesussaykka “Pilipoossay nena xeyiganappe kase Balasse miththa garsan ne dishshin ta nena beyaddis” gi zarin.
49 Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the king of Israel.
Natina77eleay “asstammarea! ne Xoossa na ne Israe77ele kawo” gides.
50 Jesus answered and said to him, Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, dost thou believe? Thou shalt see greater things than these.
Yesussaykka izas “ne amaniiday ta neena baallass miththa garsan beyadis” gidagsshe? ne buro hessafe adhdhiza daro miish beyana.
51 And he saith to him, Truly, truly do I say to you, Ye will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
Gujidikka ta intes tumu gays buro sallooy dooyetin Xoossa kiitanchati asa na bolla wdhishininne kezishin inte beyana.
